Kainos is looking for volunteers who want to get to know a person with an intellectual or developmental disability. Each year, our clients are paired with a volunteer mentor from the community. Over the course of the summer, the mentor and mentee spend time together at social events that are organized by Kainos. They get to know each other and become friends! This is a low commitment, high reward experience!

Description
Residential Living Skills Training: Residents live in one of five group homes where they receive training in practical living skills through a progressive, systematic program. A 24-hour staff carefully supervises the residents in each home, with an average staff to resident ratio of 1 to 5.
Independent Living Program: Adults who demonstrate an ability to function successfully without supervision in their day-to-day routine are helped by a Kainos staff member who makes regular visits to assess their progress, to fine-tune living skills and to offer help and support.
Vocational Training: A variety of vocational training programs helps participants select an appropriate area of interest.
Supported Employment: This program provides job readiness training, placement, on-the-job training and weekly follow-up visits.
